I'm Surrounded By Idiots 2
Damon smiled nodding, "Of course." He left the coffee shop with Blair, discarding his coffee cup in the nearest trash can before shoving his hands into his jacket pockets.
"So this future of yours," Damon said looking over at her, "what do you plan to do with it? I mean you have Columbia, you're with Chuck…what's your plan?"
"Well, I want to become an editor of a fashion magazine. I'm actually an intern at W right now and it's pretty busy but I'm handling it quite well, I think." she said, looking back at him. "Chuck and I, we're trying to build our futures together."

"Well best of luck to you then," Damon replied trying not to sound bitter at the mentioning of Chuck. "I'm sure you'll do great Blair. If anyone can make it anywhere it's definitely you."
He nudged her a little bit giving her a smile before looking ahead of him. Here he was two years out of high school and he had no clue what he was going to be doing with his life. Maybe Damon would just be a professional floater. Going from one place to another, never really calling anywhere home.
"Thanks." she smiled, missing the hint of bitterness in Damon's tone. "How about you? What are your plans? Anyone special in your life?" she asked as nonchalantly as possible. She didn't want him to think she was fishing for information on his love life.
"Nope," Damon said with a shake of his head, "I'm very much single."
Damon sighed a little looking off to the side, "I don't have any plans really. I've kind of just been floating around I guess. I've never been happier really in a sense. I mean sure everyone else has big plans for their lives and I should feel like a bum but…I guess I'm just figuring it all out. Who said your future has to be rushed right?"
Blair felt her heart skip a beat when he mentioned he was single. She mentally slapped herself as she did so, reminding herself that they were friends, that was all. She turned to him, smiling, "That's true. We're still young and there's so much more to experience. I personally am getting stressed from all the work that's been piling up on me recently. I really need to relax myself but I never seem to quite find the time."
"Well when you find the time," Damon said giving her a smile as he looked over at her, "you should come out and get a drink with me so we can catch up more. A few years is hard to sum up in an hour."
"I would love to. Tonight, perhaps?" she asked. She'd already finished almost all of her work that day and she was pretty sure she could make it by then.
Damon smiled nodding, "Tonight would be perfect. Not like I have any plans anyway." Damon was happy that him and Blair would be going out for drinks that night. In all honesty he had missed her probably more than he missed anyway from the Upper East Side.
Blair chuckled at him. "Well, this is me." she said, stopping at the gates of her department. "I'm really happy that you're back." she smiled, as she turned to face him.
Damon smiled at her while nodding, "Surprisingly I'm happy that I'm back too." He knew that his earlier conversation with Blair could have gone totally wrong but he was glad it didn't. The last thing he wanted was her to be mad at him the whole time that he was back.
"I'll text you tonight," Damon said tilting his head to the side, "tell you where to meet me."
"I'll be waiting." she said, biting her lip to suppress her smile. "I have to go now. See you tonight." Blair smiled to herself as she walked to class, excited and happy that Damon was back.
